![]() Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. great book about how people forget to create erotic distance between themselves in relationships and forget each person is supposed to be seperate and not enmeshed. it would be better if it was updated with more polyam, LGBTQ and POC examples. ( ![]() It was hard for me to glean strong takeaways from Perel's anecdotal writing style based on her clients' experiences. Bullet points of salient points at the end of each chapter would have been helpful. If you're in a long term committed relationship read this book. The ennui is normal and there are strategies to combat that feeling of 'no-fizzle.' I read this after hearing a couple episodes from Perel's podcast. I suppose that this book is similar, in a sense. But the writing doesn't convey the reality that I liked in the podcast. The case studies are very brief, and feel generic, as if designed to show Perel's point, rather than being real people. (I'm not accusing her of making them up. Probably they are real. But the writing doesn't successfully show that.) Perel's style also works better in the podcast, where acting as a therapist she is giving needed advice. In the book, her advice comes across as dogmatic. (There's one right way of doing things. Why? Because Perel says so.) I'm not expecting controlled studies, but at least some evidence, or explanation, or humility in presenting her point of view. On the plus side, she has very clear theses that you can't misunderstand. Thought provoking. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
